If you have coeliac disease, first check the gluten information for the exact product variant, then consider how convenient the packaging is. The product page for AH Unsalted Peanuts 300 g states that they are gluten-free; Duyvis describes salted peanuts in 60 g bags and lists peanuts, sunflower oil and salt as ingredients. Always check the pack you buy, and avoid gluten contact when preparing your own portions.
You want to assess a snack to take with you based on information about the specific product variant, rather than the brand name or reputation. The Dutch Coeliac Society distinguishes between checking ingredients and looking for information about possible cross-contamination risks.
You’re looking for a sealed bag that’s ready to take with you. Duyvis describes salted peanuts in a 60 g single-serve pack; the weight of the bag doesn’t automatically determine how much you want to eat.
You want to take a smaller amount of unsalted peanuts with you and can weigh it out in advance. Larger packs make this possible, but you’ll need to handle them hygienically when portioning.
A good fit if: you want a sealed pack to take with you without weighing out a portion in advance.
Bear in mind: the pack may contain more than you want to eat; also check the latest gluten and allergen information.
A good fit if: you want to weigh out a smaller amount in advance or prefer to choose unsalted peanuts.
Bear in mind: portioning takes preparation and requires a clean, resealable container.
A good fit if: you want to check the ingredients and warnings on the pack yourself and prepare portions in advance.
Bear in mind: a simple ingredients list is not a gluten-free claim or proof of a measured gluten content.
If you have coeliac disease and are choosing peanuts to take with you, the main consideration is whether product-specific gluten information, convenience on the go, portion control, or stocking up and preparing in advance matters most to you.
| What to consider | What to look for | Who is this important to? |
|---|---|---|
| Gluten information for the product variant | Check the gluten-free statement, ingredients and warnings on the pack. | I want to assess the exact product variant rather than rely on the brand name alone. Consumers who put gluten information first account for around 36% of shoppers in this decision-making context. |
| Individual pack to take with you | Check the weight of each bag and how many bags are in the pack. | I want to take a sealed snack with me without any preparation. This is the top priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| Portion size and salt preference | Consider how much you want to eat, the salt information and whether the bag is intended for one or several eating occasions. | I want to decide for myself how much to take and prefer unsalted peanuts. Portion control and salt preference are the main priorities for around 21% of consumers. |
| Stocking up and preparation | Consider the total quantity in the pack and how much you want to portion out in advance. | I want to avoid buying more than I need, or choosing a pack that requires extra preparation. Stocking up and preparation are the main considerations for around 14% of consumers. |
Plain salted peanuts, marinated peanuts and peanuts with a batter coating are different products. Information about plain salted peanuts doesn’t automatically apply to other varieties.
Check the exact product variant and the pack you’re buying. The Dutch Coeliac Society recommends checking the ingredients and relevant warnings separately.
AH gives a serving size of 25 g for its 300 g pack. This doesn’t mean it contains individual 25 g bags.
Check the weight of each bag and the number of individual packs. Only take a larger bag with you if you’re happy to weigh out your own portion.
Weighing and packing your own portions takes preparation.
The Duyvis bag contains 60 g. That’s the amount in the pack, not a recommendation that this is the right portion for you.
Decide in advance how much you want to eat, and seal any leftovers properly. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre recommends storing nuts in a dry place in a well-sealed container.
Supplier information for Duyvis describes a box of twenty 60 g bags, totalling 1.20 kg.
Check both the number of individual bags and the total quantity, so the pack suits how much you want to keep in stock.
A box containing several bags may give you more than you need for a few trips.
The manufacturer describes plain salted peanuts in several pack sizes, including a 60 g option to take with you.
AH Unsalted Peanuts 300 g is a larger pack for consumers who want to prepare their own portions.
Jumbo Unsalted Peanuts 250 g is an own-brand bag for portioning yourself.
PLUS Unsalted Peanuts 250 g is a larger own-brand pack for preparing portions to take with you.
Lidl has a product page for unsalted peanuts.
ALDI describes Trader Joe’s roasted, unsalted peanuts in a 250 g pack.
The Joybuy products shown are packs of 210 g or more and are best suited to portioning yourself, rather than as individual small snack packs. If you have coeliac disease, always check the gluten information on the current pack.

The ingredients list states peanuts.
No. The Dutch Coeliac Society also explains how to check ingredients in products without a gluten-free logo or statement. Assess the ingredients and information about possible cross-contamination risks separately; an ingredients list is not a certificate.
No. The European Commission defines the ‘gluten-free’ claim under Regulation (EU) No 828/2014 as a maximum of 20 mg of gluten per kg of product (20 ppm), not as proof that every gluten molecule is absent. A Crossed Grain licence is a separate scheme.
No. Don’t assume there’s an exception just because peanuts are not cereals. The Dutch Coeliac Society also recommends taking information about possible cross-contamination risks into account when assessing the exact pack.
Portion them using clean equipment, away from bread crumbs, and use a well-sealed container. Store peanuts in a dry place and follow the storage instructions on the product packaging too.
No. From 1 January 2026, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority will enforce the new rules for cross-contamination warnings. According to the official guidance on the transition, stock packaged earlier may still be sold after that date if the food is not unsafe; therefore, check the pack you actually buy.
